http://www.vg247.com/2013/04/17/dustforce-profitable-in-nine-days-funded-next-game-after-one-year-on-sale/#commentsWed, 17 Apr 2013 01:11:57 +0000http://www.vg247.com/?p=358991In a lengthy post on the financial cost of independent game development, Dustforce developer Hitbox Team said the $100,000 it won for an early prototype of the game was enough to fund three staff members for one and a half years’ work. That meant the team needed to earn at least $67,000 per year to fund its next game, plus a “bit of a buffer”, so aimed to make about $400,000 with Dustforce. After one whole year on sale, the game has brought in $489,404 – after taxes and other costs, Hitbox received about $4.10 for every $10 of sales revenue. The hows and whys of how this happened make pretty interesting reading as few games companies reveal their financial data at all, let alone in such detail.

Known as Spire, this title was originally teased six months ago. Woodley Nye from Hitbox has revealed snippets of information via a blog post. It seems the game focuses on working your way up a “monolithic tower of unknown origin.”

Nye indicates the game features run-time generated levels. He says, “from the placement of the books on a shelf to the shape of the walls and floors [everything] will be generated with intention.” Sounds creepy.

Players can also expect to use “walljumps, wall sliding, and other advanced techniques. The level generation will result in scenes that demand mastery of all sorts of skills, not just running and aiming.”
